Hi Doc Mana, This is to confirm my attendance for tomorrow's meeting.
Also some comments: a. is there some documents that describe the information flow from the devices to final tally of Comelec? b. are we limited only on the auditing the source code of the devices. How about the other systems in the flow (e.g. is Comelec's network secure?). Can these systems be audited as well? If we cannot audit, can at least Comelec provide a report on who did the audit and what audit/checks were done. c. What will be the process of compiling the source code into binaries? and how will these binaries be distributed into the machines? d. Will checks (full or random) be allowed to verify that the binaries are correct or that the information received by Comelec is the same as that stored in the machines? Who, when and how will this be done? Pardon me if these questions have been answered in previous posts...but there is not enough time to read them. Lastly, and this is probably outside of the scope of PLUG, we need a way to validate the results of the elections outside of the devices. A good example is the use of statistics on how Iran's election was analyzed (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wmebane/note18jun2009.pdf). I already forgot my "Stat-101" but for those who can understand the report, I urge you to do the same for 2010 elections Ambrosio --- On Fri, 7/17/09, Pablo Manalastas <[email protected]> wrote: From: Pablo Manalastas <[email protected]> Subject: [plug] Public access to source code of election programs To: "Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, July 17, 2009, 10:01 AM Comelec wants to set "guidelines" for doing source code review.
